This is a very enjoyable beer as a fan of belgain style wheat beer/white ales this is more zesty than most and makes an excelent summers day drink when chilled.

This is different to the traditional witbier taste. It is very citrusey with grapefruit and orange flavours. Very smooth and punchy. Very refreshing and a nice deviation.

Another super little Belgian wheat, this one. It pours with a fairly thick head which maintains. A creamy look to the head is replaced by a fruity flavour on first quaffing. I also get hints of grapefruit (as mentioned by Stujago) and the spicy additions of clove and nutmeg coming through the banana background. Normal colour and haze, as you’d expect. A little pricey for a 33cl bottle but that takes nothing from the satisfying flavour and look. I’d get it again, no question.

A refreshing wheat beer from a very old brewer. The strength at 4.8% is not overpowering and enables you to sink a few if you want. Cloudy looking in the glass there is some sediment in each bottle which will (mostly) stay in the bottle with minimum waste if you pour expertly.

A light and refreshing wheat beer. Smooth with a zesty finish. Not too strong so, nice to drink on those sunny afternoons

A fine Belgian wheat beer that delivered on fruity notes

If you like your wit beers, this is ok but simple tasting, not offering bursting notes but subtle flavours. Quite fruity and great for summer but I tried in winter and after a fine Dub so a little unfair – possibly a 4 otherwise on a hot summers days.

Hazy gold with a thick, white head. Soft and perfumed.
